of robbery and burglary. After quietly
watching for half an hour, frequently hear
ing groan coming from the person as though
he was in pain, the gull. driver made bold
attempt to see just what was going on; so
bounding from his hiding place and crossing
the street he found himself face TO face,
not as he supposed with a rob-
Der, but standing there in misery

almost beyond endurance. Upon inquiry he
was found to be suffering from severe at

1.-THE one trouble that caused me the most
uneasiness was a few years ago, when T
thought was going to lose my helpmate.
You see my wife's health-was failing and 7
became alarmed. She was patient sufferer;
always had severe pains in her
stomach and was subject to smother
ing spells; in fact became so
bad that she was compelled to take her bed.
| 1t was of no infrequent occurrencedor me to
visit the house and find her PROSTATE on the
| floor. At times she could not use her arm or
limbs and could not help herself at all. had
